#239182 — kodi and gnome-control-center conflict on bullseye

FromTristan Miller <psychonaut@nothingisreal.com>
Date2021-08-22 17:10 +0200
Subjectkodi and gnome-control-center conflict on bullseye
Message-ID<COXgK-2UC-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
Dear all,

On my bullseye system, it doesn't seem to be possible to install both 
kodi and gnome-control-center as they conflict with each other.  (See 
below for what happens when I've got kodi installed and then try to 
install gnome-control-center.)

Is this a known issue that affects others, or have I somehow borked my 
system configuration?  If the latter, help in diagnosing the problem 
would be appreciated.  In my /etc/apt/sources.list I have only the 
following three lines:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org bullseye-security main contrib non-free

Regards,
Tristan

I don't have either package installed, but if I try to install both in
the same command line, I don't get a failure. As such, I'm guessing this
may just be a dependency-resolver issue.

What happens if you instead run

$ apt install kodi gnome-control-center

? You should either get a success (via different resolution of the
dependencies, which doesn't consider omitting either of the two to be an
acceptable solution) or an error which may help us narrow down the problem.

Here's the output:

kodi is already the newest version (2:19.1+dfsg2-2).

Hmm.

This appears to mean either that something is resulting in a conflict
with that version of kodi-bin, or that that version of kodi-bin is not
available.

I have:

$ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center kodi kodi-bin
gnome-control-center:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:3.38.4-1
  Version table:
     1:3.38.4-1 900

        900 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
kodi:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:19.1+dfsg2-2
  Version table:
     2:19.1+dfsg2-2 900
        800 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
        900 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
kodi-bin:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:19.1+dfsg2-2
  Version table:
     2:19.1+dfsg2-2 900
        800 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
        900 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages

What do you have available?


What I usually do in this type of situation is to start adding the
specified "is not going to be installed" packages to the command line,
with explicit version numbers included if necessary, until it stops just
saying "is not going to be installed" and starts telling me *why* some
particular package won't be installed. This is usually a Conflicts or
version-specific Depends or the like. From there, it's not usually
difficult to figure out what's causing the problem and what to do.

Thanks. I get the following:

What explicit version number do you suggest that I try?  Running "apt 
install kodi gnome-control-center" tells me that

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:19.1+dfsg2-2) but it is not going to be 
installed
         Depends: kodi-bin (< 2:19.1+dfsg2-2.1~) but it is not going to 
be installed

But if I run "apt install kodi-bin=2:19.1+dfsg2-2", I am told

kodi-bin is already the newest version (2:19.1+dfsg2-2).

Regards,
Tristan

These version numbers all match mine.

This confirms that kodi-bin at the needed version number is available.

You need to continue specifying all of the packages in the same command
line, and repeat with new packages as necessary until it tells you an
actual reason for the failure instead of just the generic "is not going
to be installed".

So,

# apt install gnome-control-center kodi kodi-bin

or

# apt install gnome-control-center kodi kodi-bin=2:19.1+dfsg2-2

and then if that just fails because of another package, add that one and
repeat.

(Based on your 'apt-cache policy' output, I don't think specifying the
explicit version number will be necessary in this case, but it may be in
some other cases.)


Note that if you eventually hit a command line which succeeds, you'll
probably wind up marking all the listed packages as manually installed,
which you may not want. It may be worth backing up your
"manually-installed packages" state (as reported by the command
'apt-mark showmanual') before starting, so that after the whole thing is
done with you can go back and mark specific packages as auto-installed.

Thanks; following this procedure I was eventually able to get apt into a 
state where it offered to install all the necessary dependencies for 
both kodi and gnome-control-center.

That's a great reminded that applies to many situation.

Do you have any packages on hold?  dpkg -l | grep ^h

Do you have any packages pinned, either manually, or by way of some
automatic action performed by apt-listbugs?  I'm not an expert in
pinning, but maybe start with:  grep -ri pin /etc/apt

If neither of these is the case, then I'd try:

apt-cache polisy kodi kodi-bin      # just to get some information

And if that looks OK, then:

apt install kodi kodi-bin

Or maybe:

apt -f install    # with no packages, just to try to fix what's broken


In all cases, be prepared to tell apt "No" if it asks you to do something
that looks undesirable, like removing stuff you care about.

No, no output from that command.

No pins listed by that command, and apt-cache policy also doesn't list 
anything under "Pinned packages".

So it looks like none of your commands turned up anything, or any 
problems, and yet it's still not possible for me to install 
gnome-control-center.

Tristan
